Night Photography by Rather Dashing

February 8th, 2008 12:49 PM / Location: 35.308471,-80.72290

INSTRUCTIONS: Explore your neighborhood in deepest, darkest night.

Share photographs and other impressions of your exploration.

I actually did this task on January 19th, before I had realized it was an actual task. On the other hand, is the purpose of Aesthematics not creativity for creativity's sake? But I digress.

On this particular night, it was actual snowing as far south as Charlotte, NC. Being from Canada, I was forced to endure a christmas without snow; my trip to Canada for new years shortly after helped save my sanity. So needless to say, seeing snow down here, even a tiny bit, was pretty friggin' awesome. Many other people agreed -While at times on my 4-hour walk I felt like the only boy alive, at other times, i'd happen upon a mass snowball fight, in the middle of the night. Which was wonderful in itself, because everytime someone managed to hit me, i'd just pelt them back with 4 more and they'd give up. Evidently, not seeing much snow makes for an overall lack of training in snowball fights!

All in all, a good night. Pictures below.

- We actually had a snow day the day after (even though there wasnt anything more than mild damnpness on the roads), which helped me catch up on the sleep I missed out on wandering around all night. =]

I love the way that the night mode on your camera makes the world into gold leaf.

Swimming pools on snowy nights always kill me, I love it.

That green tree. That awesome awesome green tree!

Hat´s off!

I like your character name. And I like that someone else isn't sick of the snow.

Yeah, but...

Good as it is, doesn't the bit at the start show that this is really a retroactive completion? Just thought I'd say...

My goodness, this is pretty. And I gotta say, you look tired and content with a job well done in the last photo.

I'm inspired now. I'm gonna go do this late at night in my neighborhood.

I suppose I hadn't noticed the task yet at the time that the pictures were taken. If that's violating some rule, i'll gladly take this down.
